Amazing that you indeed needed a new turbo, they seldom fail.

Brand is a personal thing, but using 100% synthetic is good for your engine. I use Mobile 1, but that is because it is readilly available. Either 5W30 or 10W30 works best.

I use Mann filters, by the case from FCPGroton so that it is under $4 each, plus a crush washer ordered at the same time. The oil filters contain a back flow preventer valve, keeping oil in the filter. Not needed in the 5cyl engine because of the location of the filter, but at least the filter is of good quality, as are yours.

If you keep the rpms over 2,000 for most of your driving, the oil will stay cleaner longer and you can extend oil changes to 7500-10000 miles. Short trips will allow the condensating water to remain mixed with the oil and you wind up with sulphuric acid, so change the oil sooner.
